An investigation into why the construction industry needs Building Information Modelling (BIM), from the perspective of a CAD Technician.
The aim of this book is to explain what BIM is and why the construction industry needs it, in an easy to understand manner. It's ideally suited to people who come from a technical detailing background, as it puts BIM into perspective from a technical detailing point of view. Although it could be just as handy for someone who wants to understand the concept of BIM, weather you are in the construction industry or just interested in the subject.
The book is broken down into three parts. It starts out by looking at technical detailing, Computer Aided Design (CAD) and it's derivatives, then looks into the state of the (UK) construction industry. Following from this, the third part explains what BIM is, why the construction industry needs it, and how it relates to CAD.
This is a short but informative book, aimed at helping those new to BIM understand it, and hopefully adopt it.
